Basic Introduction to MP3

MP3 files are music files which have been compressed into the MP3 format. The CD-96 plays MP3 files which have been written onto a CD disc.

•The first thing you will need is an IBM compatible PC computer (at least Pentium class) or an apple computer (at least G3 class) with lots of RAM and a CD-R or CD-RW writer. Then you will need some software. (Either it is in your new computer already or you may have to buy this from MusicMatch or a similar company. You may go to the Website www. musicmatch.com or www.nero.com.

•To play MP3 files on this player, you will need to make (record) a disc with your MP3 files on them.

•We recommend you get some books or information on the Web to help you learn this exciting new way to store & play hundreds of songs in MP3 format. Also you may search the web for “MP3” and you will immediately find a world of information and songs.

NOTE: Most audio CD players can’t play MP3 files, the CD-96 can play both MP3 and normal music files but not if they are mixed on one CD.

NOTE: This set will not play WMA music files.

•To download an MP3 file (song) from a

website (like www.mp3.com), go to http: //www.mp3.com and you can find a search link at the top of the homepage that allows you to search for MP3 files. Input a key word and click on that link and you will find many songs by many new artists. To download an MP3 file, click on software, then get MP3 link or newer software, register and click on download. We recommend you make a new folder for your MP3 files.

•You will also need blank CD’s that are

recordable, these are called CD-R or CD-RW (CD-R discs can be recorded on only once, CD-RW can be erased and rewritten or re-recorded but are more expensive.)

•This player will play most MP3 formats. Some formats (like WMA) or some non-standard sampling rates may not be supported or play.

•Successful recording of a CD needs an

uninterrupted stream of high speed data. For best results, limit or close your other programs on the computer while recording to prevent buffer underruns or empty spots on the disc.

•You can play MP3 songs on most new

computers or you can highlight them for downloading & “burning” (recording) them onto a CD later. Note your CD-96 will play MP3 songs which end in the extension “.MP3” (dot MP3 only). You can select how to save a file, select .MP3 as the correct extension on your computer. Do not save the file with other extensions like .txt)

•If you want to convert your existing

records or tapes to MP3 discs, you will need to record them using a sound card. You will also need software such as MusicMatch or RealJukebox and a set of audio cables to connect your tape player to your sound card.

•If you want to record MP3 files from

music CD’s, first “rip” the music onto the hard disc. Ripping is much faster than recording.

•Titles and song names can be viewed

by the text display of your CD-96. But in most cases above, you will need to enter the names of the songs. Also, if you put all songs in one album, it may be difficult for you to locate a particular song. We recommend several albums on a single CD with each album containing multiple songs. CDDB (www.cddb.com) is a database which can help you name songs and artists and has useful information on latest songs and artists.

•MP3 opens a whole new world of music

to you. Learn about this exciting new format and enjoy.
